Mages dont need 1000 ap to kill people. You mage mains need to realize this. Everytime i see someone say shit like mages without 1000 is weak i just automatically assume they play against bots and most of time their opgg corresponds to it.
Meanwhile ADCs crit for over 1000 per auto. With 2 atks per second = around 2000 dps.
you need to have high damage to get through all the shields and CC, so its pretty reasonable
Right now DC is in a bad spot because of its build path and costs.
Mana, CDR, HP, Resistances, Active/Passive items, and Spell Pen tend to take precedence over sheer AP. By the time you get around to building Deathcap, you only have 1 or 2 open slots. This is a problem as it means you have to sit on a LOT of gold.
Even when I can afford to go straight AP for my second item, I will typically go Ludens for the movespeed and waveclear.

"MORE! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!"
Also, I love watching the AD vs AP Wars on the Boards.
: "Why does so much AD itemization counter me!?"
: "Why is Syndra allowed to one shot me with one press of R!?"
: "At least I don't deal 900 damage per basic attack without a cool down!"
: "Who cares about cool downs when you never run out of mana with Morello!?"
: "At least we don't never die once we get a Death's Dance or Guardian's Angel!"
: "Who cares about damage when you can sit so far back and deal so much damage without risk!?"
: "But our spells can't critical strike randomly! We can't get lucky, we got pure skill!"
: "Where's the pure skill in mindlessly spamming spells!?"
banter continues endlessly
I mean, I don't remember the last time I saw a Rabadon's Deathcap. Most mages these days just have good base damage and such high scalings that they can make do with just 450-500 AP
Oh hey you again! I'm still waiting for the advice on how to kill vayne with mercurial hexdrinker phantom dancer mercury boots as Annie after I land protobelt active, q, r, w, another q, tibbers autos x2 and she's still alive, while I am full build and 1 level ahead. I'd really like some help since you said that is me being bad, what do I have to do? ^^
as a juggernaut main I need 8k health to do my job hehe
gimme those gains riot
Yeah true dat. I love getting close to 1000 ap on Vel'Koz though... 1800 true damage ult not even considering the passive.
